Anti-Bias Basics

Though bias is a popular term, understanding of what it is, why it matters and how it works varies widely. This workshop builds a common frame of reference and teaches participants where their unconscious biases come from. It also supports them in having self-compassion as they work to become inclusive-minded allies. Anyta Wilson, the workshop’s presenter, specializes in creating change without a blame focus. Her approach encourages sharing and reduces angry feelings of “us vs. them,” which are commonplace in diversity discussions.
